I like yours better then the tube as it has some space of solid to it doesn't look so busy.

Really pretty 'mess up' job!! :-D

VickyOH 04-23-2011 05:48 AM

I think it was a lucky mistake! It turned out great.

roadrunr 04-23-2011 05:55 AM

That looks so nice and no one will know that you goofed up, they'll tink that's how you planned it! But, personally, I don't see any mistake.

Nolee 04-23-2011 05:55 AM

Beautiful!!!!! Who would EVER know it was a mistake? It inspires me to make my own mistake, LOL.

I love it. It is so different and your quilting is beautiful. It certainly paid off being flexible and creative.

mtnative 04-23-2011 06:33 AM

That is a gorgeous "mistake." Your quilting looks wonderful.

macygma 04-23-2011 06:35 AM

you did great! Hope I can do that well next time I "oopsie"

red-warrior 04-23-2011 06:40 AM

I love it!!!! I have saved your "mistake" to do as a future project! Thanks for sharing.

dinlauren 04-23-2011 06:49 AM

sash 04-23-2011 07:02 AM

Looks like it was planned to me. I think it's beautiful. If you don't like it you can send to me. Love the colors.

It’s beautiful!! Just goes to show mistakes are opportunities to be creative. This is so pretty!! :thumbup:

misscarol 04-23-2011 07:19 AM

I happened to do the same thing with the tube piecing. Glad you went with it (I did too!). I actually like the way it turned out. Some of the best projects are mistakes!

oma66 04-23-2011 07:19 AM

Don't you love "Happy Accidents?" You certainly had a happy accident - it is a beautiful design - design, colors and quilting. Great job! Bet you could go on to design more as you sure have the talent.

EagarBeez 04-23-2011 07:36 AM

I don't know what you were looking for, but, this is beautiful

Very cool! Excellent quilting!

RDM 04-23-2011 08:19 AM

I love that you didn't give up and made "mistakes" into a thing of beauty.

lue 04-23-2011 08:24 AM

I love it! I once took a cooking class in New Orleans and the chef said, "If you start out making one thing and it doesn't turn out to be what it was supposed to be, CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE! I absolutely love your MIS-take!

rahaube 04-23-2011 08:32 AM

Beautiful work. Looks like that was the plan all along.

khlrkat 04-23-2011 08:44 AM

I think you did a great job

Chris Kieffer 04-23-2011 09:04 AM

You are very talented!! This is GORGEOUS!!

JJean 04-23-2011 09:10 AM

I think that's how new patterns are born! Lovely!

Jim 04-23-2011 09:13 AM

VERY NICE...I wouldnt know there was a mistake at all if you hadn't told me

Alondra 04-23-2011 09:26 AM

Well, your "mess" came out very nicely. Congrats!

Candela59 04-23-2011 09:45 AM

All of my mistakes should look so bad!!! :thumbup:

Katts 14 04-23-2011 09:48 AM

That's a nice Mistake

Kellie G 04-23-2011 10:38 AM

I think it turned out quite nicely. Not your everyday table topper. Definitely unique (in a good way). Remember there are no mistakes---just pleasant surprises in quilting!!!
